Most lump removals shouldn't be done by vet or rvn without a fna first as if you don't know what your dealing with you don't know what margins to take.

In my practice schedule 3 is encouraged and with very supportive vets who are willing to take the time and help us learn. I am planning with support from my boss already to do some cpd in surgical skills for vns.

I work in charity and nurses do get to do schedule 3 here, only problem is finding a vet who has time to teach us.

are there any workshops available?

In over 10 years, I've never worked in a practice where RVNs have done any stitch ups or suture wounds etc, which is a shame
